[Jack Reacher] is the longest I’d ever shot anything - and let’s be clear, this is my first studio feature film - so there was a huge learning curve Picture Quote #1

If I have a male protagonist, it’s a studio movie, and if it’s a female protagonist, it’s an indie movie. That’s just how it is. It’s not about the studios.

In ‘Finding Nemo,’ all of the voices were recorded separate - so I would be in a sound booth in a studio by myself reading the lines with just the director. Basically, you can just come in, and it doesn’t matter what you are wearing or what you look like; it is all about how your voice sounds Picture Quote #1

I love the finished product, but I find working in the studio a chore - I use an old-fashioned setup, so the recording process can be frustrating Picture Quote #1

The fans of ‘Speed’ are very different from the fans of ‘To Wong Foo,’ which are different from ‘Donnie Darko.’ Look at the classics I’ve been in: ‘No Country for Old Men’... ‘Little Miss Sunshine’... ‘Rain Man’ was my first big studio movie! How lucky is that? Picture Quote #1

I can handle a lot of work. I’ve always been able to. I’m a very focused individual. I come to my studio at about 7:30 in the morning and exit almost 5:00 P.M.

At times, I will get in the studio and force myself to just write an entire front-to-back record, and ‘Let Me Go’ is one of these Picture Quote #1

I hate normal studios, because you have to say hi to the person at the front desk. And then you go into the studio, and there’s a second engineer in there that you don’t know, and then you’re stuck in a glass box with someone talking to you through a walkie-talkie Picture Quote #1
